This document discusses reasons for learning Latin and provides examples from people in various professions who have benefited from studying Latin. Some key benefits mentioned include improved vocabulary, logical thinking skills, an understanding of linguistic processes, appreciation of other cultures, and strong preparation for law school, medicine and other fields due to Latin's influence on terminology. Latin is also said to be easier for English speakers to learn than other languages due to similarities between the Latin and English alphabets and because many English words are derived from Latin.

European Languages - history and evolutionEuroasia
What are Romance languages? What's the difference between Spanish and French? German and English? Where did these languages come from? How have the evolved? Check out this presentation by Euroasia if you wish to learn about the evolution of European languages and how the various languages compare. Compulsory viewing for those learning European languages.
While my native language is English, and I am highly proficient in Spanish, I have also studied French, German, Hebrew, and Latin.
In addition, as a linguist I know a little bit about a lot of other languages.
This presentation shares some of my favorite facts – some well-known, some obscure – about these languages. I didn’t include English because I only know it ‘from the inside,’ but don’t know much ABOUT it.
Because I am not an expert on any language here besides Spanish, please forgive any dumb mistakes, especially if they are accidentally offensive. Corrections are welcome.

By working together we can create language classrooms we are proud of. In selecting and developing digital resources we need to address design principles like those of Scott McCloud – focus, frame, image, word and flow. We further need to incorporate the principles of gaming designers such as Zimmerman and Salen. We are now authoring interactive stories based on sound educational theory and practice since it is no longer a plot-centric approach where the teacher is the sole scriptwriter of the classroom. We need to understand the notions of cognitive interactivity, functional interactivity and explicit interactivity to benefit from the current internet practice: content delivery, sharing and then open invitation to proffer feedback. This presentation looks at ways of exploring interactive multimedia and user interaction to create meaningful language learning activities.

Design principles - Technology in the classroomCathy Woods
Teachers need to base technology lessons on design principles. When creating and selecting media for the classroom it is appropriate to follow some well thought out guidelines. Scott McCloud's 5 principles lend themselves well to media in the classroom.
This is the first of 4 parts of Domain 4 Teaching For Effective learning which we use in South Australia as our education framework. it works on connecting with prior learning.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. Why learn Latin?
10. "You acquire a certain logic and intuitive sense about language." -Newspaper editor
9. "Classics gives a perspective on life of beauty and greatness of the Roman and Greek
cultures--arts, philosophy, literature, leadership, etc." -Owner of business consulting firm
8. "Improved vocabulary, confidence in front of people, better writing techniques. Key item: The
discipline I learned has been a critical success factor, especially in the U.S. Military." -Retired
military
7. "...strong vocabulary and the ability to write, two qualities which are sorely lacking in many
medical students. Practically any term in medicine comes from Latin or Greek, which allows
me to memorize complicated words or phrases more easily." -Medical student
6. "I found law school a breeze because of the discipline and hard work habits I developed in
Classics. My awareness of linguistic processes and details is a constant strength in reading,
and thinking." -Law school/Texas Legislature
5. "Classics taught me the value of discussion without argument; taught me to listen and
appreciate other points of view." -Dentist
4. "Latin definitely has helped me. It implies some skills and character traits: attention to detail,
knowledge of how languages work, good vocabulary, good writing skills, worldly outlook ...and
maybe even wisdom." -Medical editor
3. "I appreciate having studied the Classics so much that I wish that I had the power to
influence/persuade the curriculum writers in my district to take the study of Latin mandatory for
all students who are seriously college bound. I see the study of Latin as one possible remedy
for the plummeting SAT verbal scores." -English teacher
2. "Because of its great breadth for embracing as it does logical thinking, precise analysis,
lucid expression and with its overview of human thought and development, history, economics,
business and politics, Classics constitutes the single best preparation in general sense for
almost any of life's available pursuits!" -Founder of a middle school
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON IS: Impressive credentials for any kind of job!
Why study
Latin?
6. Why students should learn
Latin
Learning Latin, unlike Russian or Greek is easier
because Latin has almost identical alphabet with
English. The student does not have to learn a new
alphabet.
Approximately fifty percent of English words are derived
from Latin. Not just any words, but the educated
language of theology, other sciences, and the highest
English literature and art.
Students of Latin score higher on standardized tests
than students of other foreign languages.
Other languages, such as the Romance languages
(French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish),
have up to 80% Latin-based vocabulary. These are
much easier to learn once Latin is mastered.
